mathrick 2 #76 December 4, 2015 SqueakIm aware pf the Grelfab mounts and my position is unchanged. G3 is NOT a camera helmet and will not come off easily in the event of a snag. But why does that matter for a GrellFab mount? The entire thing is designed to disappear if you cut it, leaving you with nothing but the unmodified helmet. I'm very much not a fan of the "I will just add some cord to my G3 and call it a cutaway" school of thought, but GrellFab makes it pretty much exactly as safe as a G3 with no camera in the first place. Are you suggesting that stock G3s with no camera mounted are prone to snags and might need to be cut away?"Skydivers are highly emotional people. They get all excited about their magical black box full of mysterious life saving forces." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tred 0 #77 December 14, 2015 http://www.2kcomposites.co.uk/g3-cutaway-system-26-p.asp thoughts on this? anyone tried it? ETA: I guess it still doesn't solve getting the helmet off your head situation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCaptain 2 #78 December 14, 2015 As you stated it really doesn't solve the problem. Yes, it does get rid of the tensioning strap but your chin is still inside the chin cup. You still have to push your head back/ suck your chin in and tilt the front of the helmet up before it will come off. There is one person who came up with a Gopro cutaway mount that I feel is the only real answer if you want to put a gopro on a G3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5awQR_fDhA&feature=youtu.beKirk He's dead Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
embedev.io 0 #79 December 14, 2015 My feedback about G3 and cameras : I wanted only one helmet, full-face, with the possibility to put a go pro (or other small camera). At t he beginning, i had a go pro 4 silver, without the roller mount , so i came with this kind of mount : If was "risk acceptable" for me to jump such a helmet, but it was very "high" mounted, and in some planes, the top of the camera was touching the wing. So i bought the gopro4 session, changed the bold to a hex bolt : I really like this mount, it never get caught in my lines on landing, never touch the wings, quality is fine for what i do, snag risk is quite low Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustShhh 0 #81 December 28, 2015 Many people on this site really don't like that idea. Something to do with it not removing the helmet. Even though without the buckle the helmet is really easy to remove. Undoing the buckle is the hard part.Gary, Gary, Gary, Would you like to play a game?

adamUK 3 #82 December 28, 2015 I've flown with my buckle undone in the tunnel and my G3 had no chance of coming off. I'm not entirely sure the 'undo the buckle' type cutaway systems would be really that effective if you needed to chop it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chips26 4 #84 May 9, 2016 This is the cutaway mount my buddy is developing specifically for G3s. He just finished doing some test jumps with it at the dropzone this weekend. [/url]http://www.collettetech.com/[url] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
